Agreed. The misconception is that the last guy to modify some code not created by that person
gets to put his license over all of it.

There is indeed plenty of detail to take into consideration, and we could ping-pong the discussion
around many nuances if we wanted to (for example: there's often no need to edit the file to
change the way it is licensed as part of a larger work).
One benefit there seems to be from having me join a thread is people add a lot more detail
to the discussion in order to correct me, even when we agree. Suffice to say we're generally
agreed that Jürgen's original assumption ("This code becomes automatically Apache licensed,
correct?") is probably not right :-)
